Rationale for core Python numeric types

[Batista, Facundo]

[Grant Edwards]

#- For much of what I do with Python, fixed width integers would
#- be awfully nice -- then I wouldn't have to and everything with
#- 0xff, 0xffff, or 0xffffffff to get the results I want.

Scratch your own itch! (write a PEP and propose it).

My recommendation is to write a prePEP and sense the lists....
